Salty Feet | A Deep Breath by the Sea

Some holidays are about doing more.  Others are about finally slowing down.  Salty Feet is made for the second kind.

Tucked away near Robe's beautiful Western Beaches, this spacious two-storey holiday home is somewhere you can arrive, put your bags down, sink into a ridiculously comfortable couch and feel the pace of life begin to change.

Take a breath. Pour a drink. Let the outside world wait a little longer.

With four generous bedrooms, beautifully roomy living spaces, high ceilings, plush flooring and the gentle warmth of a gas fireplace on each level, Salty Feet has all the space you could want without ever feeling grand or formal.

It's comfortable rather than fancy. Relaxed rather than showy. The sort of house where you can stretch out, kick off your shoes and feel completely at home.

And then there's the ocean.

From the western side of the house, glimpses of the Great Southern Ocean hint at the beauty just beyond your doorstep. Come evening, the sky puts on a show, with spectacular sunsets that make finding a spot on the deck feel like the most important decision of the day.

Because sometimes the best part of a holiday is having absolutely nowhere else you need to be.

Welcome to Salty Feet.

A place for salty air, good wine, old friends and the simple joy of being together.

Why You'll Love Staying at Salty Feet

Salty Feet is a large, welcoming Robe holiday home designed for people who appreciate space, comfort and good company.

Spread across two levels, the house offers four large double bedrooms, two full bathrooms and an additional powder room, making it wonderfully suited to couples travelling together, groups of friends or families who enjoy having room to themselves as well as space to gather.

Everywhere feels generous.

The bedrooms are dark and quiet, inviting you to sleep in without an alarm or enjoy a proper afternoon nap. The living rooms have broad, soft couches that practically insist you sit down and stay awhile. High ceilings and plush flooring add to the sense of space, while the gas fireplaces upstairs and downstairs bring a lovely warmth when the coastal weather turns cool.

This is a house that knows how to help you unwind.

Upstairs, a huge, fully equipped kitchen makes cooking together part of the holiday rather than a chore. Prepare a feast of fresh local seafood, open a bottle of something special and let dinner take as long as it needs to.

Downstairs, another living area gives everyone somewhere comfortable to retreat, read, chat or simply enjoy a little quiet time.

And when the evening calls for fresh air, the upstairs deck wraps all the way around the house.

With two outdoor settings that can be moved to suit the conditions, there's always the chance to find a sheltered corner out of the wind. Enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, a leisurely afternoon drink or a front-row seat to those unforgettable western sunsets.

Outside, the fully enclosed rear yard offers even more room to relax, with a fire pit for evenings spent talking long after dinner.

There's plenty of parking, too, so bringing the group together is easy.

Salty Feet is spacious enough for everyone to feel comfortable, yet warm enough that even one couple can settle in and enjoy the luxury of having room to breathe.

Discover Robe's Western Beaches

One of the best things about staying at Salty Feet is how easily you can leave the car behind.

Within a ten-minute walk, you can be exploring West Beach, admiring the striking coastal formation of Doorway Rock or making your way towards the iconic Obelisk.

Prefer a little adventure with your ocean views?

Join Robe's coastal walking trail and follow the rugged coastline at your own pace. Whether you're after a gentle wander with plenty of photo stops or a longer walk to get the heart pumping, the coastline offers a wonderful way to experience this part of the Limestone Coast.

Then there's the other direction.

A leisurely walk of around five minutes takes you to the Robe Marina, where the fishing fleet and recreational fishers bring their own quiet rhythm to the harbour.

Watch the boats come and go.  See what's happening on the water or enjoy the birdlife from the hidden board walk of Authur Fennell Way tucked into the bush around the harbour.

Wander over to Lipson Park, where the public barbecues and grassy lawns offer another lovely place to spend an afternoon outdoors.

It's a different side of Robe, and one that's just as rewarding.

From dramatic coastal scenery and beach walks to the working harbour and relaxed parklands, Salty Feet puts you in a wonderful position to enjoy the many moods of this much-loved seaside town.

And when you've had your fill of exploring, home is only a short walk away.

Make the Most of Your Stay

Settle In and Spread Out

There is something wonderfully indulgent about a holiday home where nobody has to fight for the comfortable seat.

At Salty Feet, the couches are broad, the living spaces are generous and there's room to gather without feeling crowded.

Put your feet up.  Choose your favourite corner and let the conversation wander.  There's no need to fill every moment when simply being here feels this good.

Cook Something Worth Sharing

For some people, a holiday isn't complete without a long dinner, a good bottle of wine and something delicious on the table.

Salty Feet was made for those evenings.

The huge upstairs kitchen gives you room to prepare a feast together, whether that's a seafood spread, a relaxed barbecue or a collection of local treats gathered during the day.

Think fresh crayfish, chilled wine and friends catching up on everything that's happened since you last sat around a table together.

No rush.  No restaurant booking to watch the clock for.  Just good food and even better company.

Find Your Favourite Spot on the Deck

With a deck that wraps around the entire upper level, there's always somewhere to enjoy the fresh coastal air or escape from it.

Move the outdoor settings to find a sheltered position, follow the sun or settle in on the western side as the sky begins to change colour.

Morning coffee tastes different with a little ocean air.  Afternoon drinks seem to last longer outside.  And sunset? That's best enjoyed without checking the time.

Chase the Coastal Views

Pull on your walking shoes and head towards West Beach, Doorway Rock and the Obelisk.

Explore the coastline, pause to take in the Southern Ocean and enjoy the kind of fresh air that makes you feel wonderfully alive.

For a longer outing, follow the coastal trail and let the scenery set the pace.

Then return to Salty Feet, kick off your shoes and appreciate the particular pleasure of a comfortable home after a good walk.

End the Day by the Fire

Coastal weather has a way of making a warm fire feel especially inviting.

With a gas fireplace upstairs and another downstairs, Salty Feet offers a cosy place to settle in after a day exploring Robe.

Choose a movie, pour another glass of wine, pull a blanket over your knees or gather around the table for one more conversation.

Outside, the evening settles in.  Inside, there's nowhere else you'd rather be and if the night is clear, the fire pit in the enclosed rear yard offers another reason to stay outside just a little longer.

Why Guests Will Love Salty Feet

Some holiday homes impress you.

Others make you feel comfortable almost immediately.

Salty Feet does the latter.

It's the generous proportions, the soft couches, the quiet bedrooms and the fireplaces that make the difference. It's being able to spend time together without feeling on top of one another, and being able to find a little privacy when you need it.

It's a house for couples who love travelling with friends.  For old mates who can turn one dinner into an entire evening of stories.  For seafood lovers who believe fresh crayfish deserves a good bottle of wine.

Salty Feet doesn't need to be extravagant.

Its appeal is much simpler.  Space to breathe.  Room to relax and time to enjoy the people you came away with.

A Local Tip from Happyshack

Take an afternoon walk towards West Beach and the Obelisk, giving yourself plenty of time to enjoy the coastal scenery along the way.

On your return, pick up something delicious for dinner, settle into the upstairs kitchen and let the evening unfold.

If the weather is kind, move the outdoor setting to a sheltered spot on the wraparound deck and watch the sun sink towards the ocean.

If it's chilly, light the mood with the fireplace and make yourself comfortable inside.

Either way, don't rush dinner.

The best Robe evenings have a habit of turning into long conversations, another glass of wine and the sort of memories that make you start planning your next visit before you've even left.
